"You have a dog fur on your face, probably Kiiro's." Kei stated after grabbing the dog fur from the girl's face.

"O-oh, thanks." Y/n barely managed to say while frozen on the spot with rosy cheeks.

She quickly looked away trying to hide them.

"Oi, daijōbu? Does your head hurt? Do I need to call the doctor?" the blonde concerningly asked but still with his calm voice.

"Eh? Mhm, I'm fine." the girl finally got a hold of herself and went back to facing the boy.

"By the way, Kei, how's Kiiro? Was he hurt? Did anything happen to him?"

"He's at the daycare, perfectly fine. I'll pick him up later and he'll stay at the house while you're here."

"Are you sure your family's okay with that?" the girl asked.

"You know F/n, he's not just your dog. He's our dog. Remember? It was the two of us who found him."

"Oh, right. Sorry."

Silence filled the room after their conversation which made the atmosphere awkward.

At that time, Kei went through his bag, looking for something. After sometime, he pulled out a notebook.

"Here's today's lessons. Read it if you have time." he said, handing the notebook to the girl.

"You didn't have to do this Kei but, thanks. I appreciate it."

"I'll be giving you everyday's lessons so make sure you finish reading them all."

"Is that fine with you? I mean, you'd have to do it for two weeks which is pretty long."

"Two weeks is not long." Kei demanded.

"It's getting late, Kei, you should probably head home." Y/n said, after looking outside the dark sky.

"Do you need anything else before I leave?" the blonde asked, grabbing his bag and standing up.

"I'm all good, thanks for coming. Oh, also please thank the others for me."

"Expect me here everyday. Goodnight."
he casually said, heading towards the door.

"Goodnight, Kei." the girl waved goodbye as the door closes.

Along the silent corridor, all you could hear was the tall blonde's footsteps. Each stomp he made echoed all over the long corridor.

It was like something out of a horror movie. He stepped inside the elevator and pressed the button to the ground floor.

Once there, he got out and walked out of the hospital. The moonlight shined on him as he let out a big sigh.

The blonde traced down the path to the dog daycare center. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind that made hin scoff.

'Tch, walking home never felt like this.'
